Diggin' Holes in the Sand Lyrics

We've been searching for direction

For a guiding light

Like sailors gazing at the stars

Still stranded

Still stuck here

In the middle of nowhere

The night is clouded and we're lost, confused

Distracted by the visions of the perfect Future

Images of greater new life

A utopia where every living being is free

But where are we now

We're back from the start

A highway to nowhere

A path winding down

A fall disguised as a flight

So what's the point in so-called technological progress

Too many clever gadgets in our homes

We choke on them

So desperately buying more

Never enough

Fake salvation in the comfort giving peace of mind

The useless phony toys filling the empty space in a cold and lonely life

But long-awaited happiness and liberty still didn't come

Six billion slaves here craving for a beam of light in this fucking world of misery

We never really left the dark ages behind

Nowadays we call them centuries

Don't hesitate

We're not going to live forever

Is it so hard to change our way of life

Still going blind

Going backward

It's like waiting for the waves to fill our empty holes with water

Destroying our sandcastles

Fragile dreams to be erased

Then blame it on the bad weather and start over again

Sending flowers to our funeral

The science or the politics would never save the world
